NAME OF FIRST NATION

ADDRESS

Dear NAME OF CHIEF/ORGANIZATION,

Re: 401 Energy Ltd., Farm Owned Power (Melancthon) Ltd. Wind Farm

This letter is being sent to Aboriginal communities and organizations that 401 Energy

Ltd. has identified as potentially having an interest in the above noted project. While we

understand that the Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE) will be confirming the

list of Aboriginal communities that should be notified of this project, 401 Energy Ltd. is

taking the initiative to notify you in advance of receiving the list. Previous notification of

this project was sent to your community/organization in April, 2007.

401 Energy Ltd. intends to develop, with the project landowners, a 100 MW wind farm in

the Township of Melancthon in Dufferin County, Ontario (the “Farm Owned Power

(Melancthon) Ltd. Wind Farm”). The majority ownership of the project will be the local

community (land owners). 401 Energy Ltd. has been granted a contract for the sale of

electricity with the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) through the Province’s Feed-in-Tariff

(FIT) program. The project will require approval under Ontario Regulation 359/09 –

Renewable Energy Approval (REA) under the Green Energy Act. The REA process

replaces the previous process that required several separate approvals including, for

example, the Environmental Assessment Act, Planning Act and Environmental Protection

Act. As specified in the REA regulations (Section 17), a project proponent is required to:

• Notify Aboriginal communities of the proponent’s intent to develop the project;

• Provide Aboriginal communities with a copy of the draft Project Description

Report;

• Provide information regarding any adverse impacts that the project may have on

constitutionally protected treaty rights;

• Notify Aboriginal communities of each of the REA Reports that are to be

released; and

• Make a written request that the Aboriginal community provide in writing any

information available to the community that in its opinion, should be considered

in preparing the REA Reports and in particular, any information the community

may have about the adverse impacts that the project may have on constitutionally


protected aboriginal or treaty rights and any measures for mitigating those

adverse impacts.

While Section 17 of the REA Regulations makes reference to the need to submit the

above through a form that has been approved by the MOE, no such form is available at

this time, and the information/request is being made through this letter.

The following addresses the above-noted requirements:

Project Description

The draft Project Description Report (PDR) for this project is attached and includes a

map of the project area.

Information Regarding any Adverse Impacts on Aboriginal or Treaty Rights

There are no Aboriginal communities located within the Project Area, the Township of

Melancthon or Dufferin County as a whole. The Melancthon wind farm project lies

outside the Haldimand Tract, however, it is immediately adjacent to the Tract and it lies

within the Treaty of 1701 boundary. As such, the project may be of interest to the Six

Nations of Grand River community. 401 Energy Ltd. has arranged a meeting with the

Six Nations First Nation.

The following Aboriginal communities and organizations have also been identified as

potentially having an interest in the project:

� Chippewas of the Thames

� Chippewas of Saugeen

� Oneida Nation of the Thames

� Munsee-Delaware Nation

� Chippewas of Kettle & Stony Point

� Union of Ontario Indians

� Association of Iroquois and Allied Indians

� Metis Nation of Ontario

401 Energy Ltd. has no specific information with regard to potential adverse effects that

the project could have on the constitutional and/or treaty rights of the above noted

aboriginal communities. 401 Energy Ltd. is communicating with aboriginal communities

to confirm potential project interest.

REA Reports Summary

401 Energy Ltd. is in the process of completing the following technical reports which are

required for the REA submission to the Ministry of the Environment:


• Construction Plan Report – This report will include a description of the

following: construction activities; location and timing of the construction;

potential negative effects that might be incurred during construction; and

mitigation measures to be implemented to avoid/minimize the identified effects.

• Natural Heritage Features Summary Report – A description of the natural

heritage features in the project area (birds, bats, vegetation, terrestrial and aquatic

wildlife and habitats) and demonstration that required REA setbacks from natural

features have been met.

• Water Assessment Summary Report – A summary of water features in the

project area and demonstration that the required REA setbacks from water

features have been met.

• Design and Operations Report – A description of the following: site plan of the

project showing all project components and their locations; surface water supplies

to be used, potential emissions and waste; an environmental effects monitoring

plan; and response plan to communicate with affected parties.

• Consultation Report – A summary of communication and consultation activities

conducted to date with the public, government agencies and Aboriginal

communities as well as a summary of the communication and consultation

activities that are planned for the future under the REA process, including

responses to concerns that are received.

• Decommissioning Plan Report – A description of the activities that are to be

undertaken should the facility be decommissioned including: procedures to

dismantle the facility; land restoration activities; and procedures for waste

management.

• Noise Study Report – A description of the noise modeling results to demonstrate

that the renewable energy facility will meet MOE specified noise level levels.

• Wind Turbine Specification Report – A technical description of the equipment

and wind turbines to be used.

401 Energy Ltd. would be pleased to provide the above noted reports to interested

Aboriginal communities for their review and comments.

Request for Information

401 Energy Ltd. is making a written request to your community for information that

should be considered in the planning of this project, in particular any information that


your community may have regarding potential adverse impacts of the project on

constitutionally protected aboriginal or treaty rights and recommendations for measures

to mitigate these adverse impacts.

401 Energy Ltd. is pleased to continue communications with aboriginal communities

with respect to this Project. 401 Energy Ltd. is available to meet with aboriginal

communities representatives to present the project and results of the REA process and to

learn about your interests and potential concerns. I intend to follow-up with a phone call

to you, but if you have questions about the project, please do not hesitate to contact me

Dear XXXX:

This letter provides a Notice of Public Information Centre #1 under Ontario Regulation 359/09 – Renewable Energy Approvals (REA) under Section V.0.1 of the Ontario Environmental Protection Act.
